css and outlook

[thebloke]

Guys

I have a htm file mostly written using css that renders fine in ie, firefox and netscape however I need to send it out by email.

I've written some cdo code which does this very nicely thank you however when I open the email in outlook express all the images that are contained in css styles have vanished.

Any ideas how to overcome this?

Cheers

The CSS has to be publicly available, and the link to it in the HTML has to be a full url to the public location of the CSS file.

I've put the css into the htm file. All of the image locations are full urls. The font styles are being picked up and any images with a full path in the html are shown, just not anything in a style like

#thisstyle
{
left: 0px;
height: 18px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 7px;
background-image: url(http://www.mysite.com/images/myimage.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
text-align: left;
}
